    Forbidden Journey restraints still a no-go for my father?

    Find the biggest employee to help... I had a rather small female try and help and told me it was a no go. I found a tall, strong young man to push it down and I had no problem. It was a tight but worth it for the great ride!!!

    The generation Star Wars captivated is in their mid 30's to mid 40's, not in our sixties. My two daughters love Star Wars as we watched Clone Wars together on Cartoon network along w/P&F Star wars special & all the movies, etc. We are looking forward to Rebels and Disney has to get more SW in...

    Disney Nut Goes to Universal...Help!

    We were in your shoes a few weeks ago as we just planned our Oct. trip. Read the 'sticky' posts on the resorts, compare them on trip advisor or similiar site & find what fits for your family. We found several great tips on these boards & on mouse savers. Good luck on your planning!

    Drop on Splash Mountain vs. Journey to Atlantis (SeaWorld)

    No contest, Journey is a water thrill ride while splash is not. If you handled Journey, you should have no worries. Jouney is one of my all time favorite water rides, even though I got soaked on it!!!

    Hess station at DTD ?

    DTD & the Hess Station is our first stop after we arrive. We always take a rolling carry on suitcase on the bus and have not had an issue. We have also taken the boat from POR w/ them. Milk, OJ, a case of water, powerade, Mr Pibbs, & a six pack of Corona are essentials when we visit!

    Would you go to a Villains Dining experience?

    What's stopping them from doing a Marvel Character Dining at one of the resorts similar to how they did the monorail advertising? I would so go to a Villians dining experience as well as a Star Wars one, Indy Jones, Toy Story, Pirates of Carribean, etc. My 'princesses' have moved onto be...

    Cool/Different things to have signed?

    Last trip we took a plate making kit & had the characters sign the paper sheets. When we got home, we sent them off & now have "disney plates." We also have done pillows & t-shirts over the years. We always take a piece of cardboard to put under the item signed.

    Divorced parent and child has different name at the airport.

    Even though our minor children have our last name & no ID's, the TSA agents have asked them questions about where they are going, coming from, etc. It sounds like 'small talk' as they are really confirming everything is okay. They don't check their tickets off & let them go through the...

    Disney in February?

    Gone twice in Feb, including this year. Temps are great..some ride closures so be mindful of that. Also check to see when Fat Tuesday is as the state of Louisianna visits then and it is a little busier. We saw lots of cheer groups and didnt have any issues....anytime @ WDW is a great time!!!

    prepaid visa cards

    One of the great tips I found on Dis is to purchase Disney gift cards at Target. We used our Target red card & got 5% off....we had another 5% off coupon from using the pharmacy, so each $100 Disney gift card costs us $90.25. They work great to help the kids pay for their souvenirs and to keep...

    Disney Visa Benefits

    The credit card rules changed a few years ago and you always pay your highest interest rate first....0% disney trip will always be the last portion you pay as long as you make your minimum payment.
